Harlan Frank - Maelstrom Lyrics

Eyes on the waves is what you said to me
But I wanna stay here for a while and die peaceful
Was I a fool for having the confidence to dream
I'm stuck in the maelstrom trying my hardest to see
So take me back to
When the weatherman still ran the news
When the paperboy still ran his routes
Oh, and the devil still wanted you
As I get older I can hear the waves saying they'll drag me down
But I'm just a soldier who wants this ship to turn around
So take the money, Don't take the money now
Need the money, I need the money now
Hate the money I hate the money now
So take the money, Don't take the money now
Hate the money, I hate the money now
I need the money I need it honey
Oh, I'm bleeding out
So take me back to
When the weatherman still ran the news
When the paperboy still ran his routes
Oh, and the devil still wanted you
And I'm sick of screaming at the dirt
As the bombs above us fall to the earth
And I don't know where we go when we die
So bury us closely side by side
Side
Side
Side by side
So take me back to
When the weatherman still ran the news
When the paperboy still ran his routes
Oh, and the devil still wanted you
When the family man still sang the blues
Oh, and the paper boy still ran his routes
Oh, and the weatherman still told the truth
Oh, and the devil still wanted you
